Increased flushing frequency of a model plumbing system initially promoted the formation of viable but non culturable cells but ultimately reduced the concentration of culturable and total Legionella DNA

Heliyon
Legionella is the causative agent of Legionnaires’ disease, and its prevalence in potable water is a significant public health issue. Water stagnation within buildings increases the risk of Legionella. However, there are limited studies investigating how

Spatial Patterns and Associated Factors of Intestinal Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Farmed Bullfrogs From Selected Farms Across Major Production Regions in China

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Across selected bullfrog farms in major Chinese production regions, 106 intestinal ARG subtypes were detected, with tetracycline and sulfonamide resistance genes predominating and clear farm‐level variation. High‐risk ARGs, including ermB, floR, and qnrA, were associated with heavy metals, MGEs, and opportunistic pathogens. These findings highlight the

Toward understanding the catalytic mechanism for two classes of bacterial phospholipid N‐methyltransferases

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Phospholipid N‐methyltransferases (Pmts) synthesize phosphatidylcholine in many bacteria. In this study, we compared the catalytic mechanisms of two bacterial Pmt classes: the Rhodobacter (R‐) and the Sinorhizobium (S‐) type. Representative enzymes for each class were derived from Rubellimicrobium thermophilum and Agrobacterium tumefaciens ...

Rewriting Tumor Immunity With Bacterial Membrane Vesicles: A Versatile and Potent Therapeutic Strategy

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, Volume 6, Issue 10, October 2026.
Bacterial membrane vesicles (BMVs) emerge as promising platforms for cancer immunotherapy owing to their intrinsic adjuvant properties and tunable cargo delivery capabilities. Their ability to modulate the tumor microenvironment, enhance antitumor immune responses, and support personalized therapeutic strategies highlights their growing potential as ...

Adverse Reactions Identified after Approval of Novel Medicines: Analysis of 339 New Molecular Entities and Therapeutic Biologics

Clinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, Volume 120, Issue 4, Page 1120-1128, October 2026.
Postmarketing safety surveillance data identify safety issues not identified in preapproval clinical trials. We describe the frequency of new safety issues overall and by labeling section and the relationship of the most commonly added safety issues with the cumulative number of prescriptions dispensed via retail pharmacies.

Cytomegalovirus in Bronchoalveolar Lavage Fluid: A Predictor of Outcome in Immunocompromised Patients

Journal of Medical Virology, Volume 98, Issue 10, October 2026.
ABSTRACT Cytomegalovirus (CMV) is a prevalent herpesvirus that remains typically asymptomatic in immunocompetent individuals but can cause severe, potentially life‐threatening disease in immunocompromised patients. This study assessed the impact of CMV‐associated lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs), diagnosed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR ...

Detection and quantification of viable but non-culturable Legionella pneumophila from water samples using flow cytometry-cell sorting and quantitative PCR

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Legionella pneumophila is a waterborne pathogen and, as the causative agent of Legionnaires’ disease, a significant public health concern. Exposure to environmental stresses, and disinfection treatments, promotes the formation of resistant and ...

Posttranslational Modifications of p62/SQSTM1 in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
Schematic illustration of p62 as a posttranslational modifications (PTMs)‐programmed integrator in homeostasis, pathogenesis, and therapeutic targeting. (Left) Homeostasis: In physiological states, p62, through various PTMs such as phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and acetylation, coordinates essential cellular functions.

Mucosal‐Associated Invariant T Cells in Health and Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 10, October 2026.
The roles of MAIT cells in health and disease and their therapeutic applications. In healthy individuals, riboflavin metabolites secreted by commensal bacteria at mucosal sites are presented by MR1, leading to the activation of MAIT cells. Activated MAIT cells can maintain the barrier integrity of mucosal tissues in a steady state or migrate to the ...
